In a bold and historic move, Namibia has cut ties with the United States in the oil and gas sector, ordering an immediate halt to all American mining operations within its borders. This decisive action marks the end of a multi-billion-dollar oil and gas contract that had allowed the U.S. to rake in over $1 billion annually from Namibian resources.
President Dr. Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, Africa’s first female elected Head of State and now hailed as a “True African Mother,” made the announcement as part of a sweeping economic sovereignty agenda. “From now on, Namibian oil will benefit Namibians,” she declared, unveiling plans for full state ownership of oil and gas mining operations.
To the delight of citizens, the president also announced a 50% reduction in fuel prices nationwide—an unprecedented move aimed at easing the cost of living and energizing local industries.
“She’s not just leading—she’s liberating,” said one citizen. “Mmangwane o tshwara thipa ka fa bogaleng—our mother is holding the knife by the blade for us all.”
Analysts say the decision could spark a wave of resource nationalism across Africa, as countries re-evaluate foreign exploitation of natural wealth. For now, Namibia stands at the forefront, reclaiming control of its destiny—barrel by barrel.
